World Book Day
It was wonderful to celebrate World Book Day and to see so much reading taking part in school. Of course, reading is a high priority in any week, but marking the day really inspires our children. World Book Day is a day to reflect on the importance of reading in children’s lives and to help spread the message that reading is “fun, relevant, accessible, exciting and has the power to transform lives”.
The costumes that came through the gate on Tuesday morning were fantastic. Thank you to all our parents for your efforts and support with these. In school, the children took part in a variety of book day activities, including writing collaborative stories across the year groups and 'drop everything and read', which was a great success. Thank you to the Book Bunnies for ringing the bell, notifying us to stop what we were doing, grab a book and collectively read a story. In assembly, the winners of the Book Bunnies bookmark competition were announced. We saw some fantastic entries – well done to everyone who took the time to enter the competition. The winning entries will be made into bookmarks and available for sale soon!
Last term saw our Reading Ambassadors launch the first edition of the Book Bunnies Newsletter. The Book Bunnies' goal is to promote and further improve a love of reading in school and to help children discover new worlds through books. We hope you all enjoyed reading their newsletter, which featured some amazing book reviews from the children.
At Ayscoughfee Hall School, we are committed to nurturing a love of reading and believe in celebrating the magic of storytelling and the power of books.
